But most drivers do overwrite parts of it, which is kinda my point:
Everyone still keeps using at least some parts of atomic, and benefitting
from the opinionated guidelines those have.

That "set things in stone" is actually what I want. Well, not stone, but
really clear semantics. You're essentially creating a notifier, except
there's only every one notified entity at most. Ime bad things happen with
notifiers, it's unavoidable.

So maybe what we need instead is a bridge_hpd_process callback (in
mode_config.helpers or wherever, or on the encoder, dunno), with the above
default implementation. But you can then overwrite it.

Or another option would be that at least on DT platforms, DT gets to spec
the entire hpd routing.

I just fear that if we let bridge drivers all manage this themselves we'll
end up with a formadible mess of slight incompatibilities.
